Question

variables y and x have a proportional relationship and y = 15 when x = 6. what is the value if x when y = 35

Answer 1

x = 14

Explanation:

y and x have a proportional relationship. That means that I can multiply them both or divide them both by the same thing and still stay proportional.

when y = 15, x = 6

when y = 5, x = 2 (divided by 3)

when y = 35, x = 14 (multiplied by 7)
